That was awesome. It almost makes me want to oremover the passengers side mirror, and put back in my delete panel. 
Great find. I was watching and yelled out "NOOooooooooo" when the blue one hit the black one. My wife looked @ me like this 
but with more of a blackitude. (I must have interupted her recording of HOUSE. Shes a big Hugh Laurie (sp?) fan.)
Honda, because it's hard to look baller in your mom's Volvo.
The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Was it just me or did anyone else notice the lack of inside rear wheel lift. I saw no daylight between the inside rear tire and the pavement through the corners on any of the cars. Hmmm, why not? Special suspension set-up? "Correct" suspension set-up?
What am I missing here?
Perhaps it's there, I just didn't look close enough.

If I had to guess, I would say a combination of a spec Michelin tire that maybe wasn't too grippy or very wide, and a near stock suspension with lots of body roll.
The shocks looked pretty soft too, based on how the cars bounced around. I seem to recall that when I raced my 84DX CRX in Showroom Stock back in the mid/late 80's that it would lean pretty far without lifting a wheel. Not like the VW's from that era.

You are missing the stock suspension.
To me it looked like all the cars had stock suspension, short of maybe the struts. If I had to guess, I'd guess that it's a mostly stock class.
PS: Oh damn, sounds like someone tossed a stone into the hornets nest again... RUN!
